"""Raymond Parker, 26, of Minneapolis, riding the Green Line light-rail train in St. Paul on Thursday, June 29, 2017, said he respects """"25 percent"""" of police officers, but those he favors are mostly retired. """"The 1990s cops, they would come give you baseball cards and throw the football around. What happened to those cops? It's just crazy nowadays. That was my picture of cops growing up. As far as trying to be a young black man in America, it's very discouraging. Sometimes police want to say hi to me, and I keep my head down and I keep walking ... especially if I feel the energy isn't positive -- I'm not going to say 'racist.' I'm going to say 'prejudiced.'"""" (Frederick Melo / Pioneer Press)"""
